Hello ,

The most powerful relationship you will ever have is the relationship you have with yourself.

— Steve Maraboli,

February for me is all about love and I don't mean the romantic love that's celebrated on Valentine's Day. Before you can truly love another, you need to love yourself. Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship in your life. If you don't love yourself, you won't allow or attract the deep love that you want and need.

We hear all the time that you need to love yourself but what does that look like in real life?

Self-love is a choice. It’s a series of decisions that you make daily. It won’t feel natural at first, that’s why you must fake it until you make it. It starts with the decision each day to feel good and be happy. If you’re going through bad times or having a bad day, ask yourself, “What can I do to make myself feel better today?” And then choose something that’s life affirming and self-nurturing. Esteemable acts build self-esteem. It’s as simple as that.

Self- love is a verb. How you treat yourself reveals all. Self-love is revealed in your self-talk and how you pay attention to and care for yourself. Do you neglect, criticize, and tear yourself down? Or do you build yourself up with kind and encouraging thoughts, words, and deeds?

Many people don’t want the responsibility that self-love and self-care entails. They would rather play the victim and/or make other people or circumstances responsible for their unhappiness. As long as they can play the victim or blame game, they don’t have to take action and be responsible for their actions.

Many people see happiness as something outside of themselves. They think they will be happy when certain conditions are met, such as losing weight, or getting material things, or when others behave towards them the way they want them to.

Happiness is a choice and must be made daily. It comes from within. It’s an attitude and a habit that must be continually cultivated and practiced, just like self-love. Sure, there are times and circumstances where it's difficult or impossible to be happy ( for instance, depression), but even then you can make choices to help yourself feel better.

The most courageous decision you can make is the decision to be happy right now. All that you are seeking will come from this.

You can’t hate your way into a better body. Self-love and self-acceptance create the fertile soil of self-transformation. When you build your body on the solid foundation of self-love, the results will be long lasting.

What are you going to do this week to show love and care for yourself?

If you're like most people, you've probably tried willpower and dieting to lose weight. Unfortunately, for most people this is not enough. The reason willpower and diets fail is because most people overeat for emotional reasons. Emotional eating is a response to various environmental and emotional triggers. These triggers range from stress, exhaustion, uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, procrastination, boredom, and a need for pleasure and comfort.
